in an article entitled "How I Made
a Good Husband of My Boa," the
writer lays down some rules for a
course of domestic training for bache
lors who are thinking of being mar
ried, the Woman's Home Companion
states. «
"Besides heating the house,” he says,
"a man should have a thorough theo
retical and a simple practical knowl
edge of plumbing, so he can be beyond
the mercy of an ignorant or dishonest
plumber. The upkeep of all the furni
ture is your province; you should be
able to replace a caster automatically,
or in your sleep put on the poll of u
bureau drawer.
"Of course he will not call in n
puintcr when floors or woodwork need
painting or a mun to replace panes
of gluss or put up shelves, or any of
the smaller tinkering around the house,
any more than his wife should hire u
woman to darn the stockings or do
the small inending.
"One of the most important duties
is to see tliut each window and door
is perfectly screened. He should keep
nil the shades in proper order and see
that the windows work eusily and
smoothly, also keep the locks of ull
the doors In perfect order. He should
have a general knowledge of build
ing materials, so he will he ubl<» to
advise his curpeuter. Naturally, too,
he will keep the knives in proper con
dition, and no young man should wait
until he is murrled to learn to carve."
Bison's Revenge.
An ohl Indian numed tfeyharper,
who lived in that purt of Oklahomu
that used to be called the Indiun Ter
ritory, used to tell Ids white friends
this story of the strange but terrible
revenge thut a bison once took on the
hunter who hud wounded it In the
chase:
"When I wns a boy most of our food
was brought in by the buffalo hunters.
Killing these large beasts was hurd
and dangerous work, but It was very
exciting. Once the hunters went out
after a herd, each riding his best pony.
One, who had attacked a large bull,
failed to strike a- vital part with hlB
arrows, and pursued the beast across
the prairie.
"Suddenly In the mad race hunter
and prey came to a buffalo path thut
had been washed down by the heavy
rains till it was two or three feet deep.
The horsb stumbled, threw the roan
into the ditch, and then dashed off.
leaving him helpless. The buffalo
saw the accident, turned, and tried
desperately to gore the hunter. Bat
the ditch was too narrow, and so the
buffalo reached down and with its long
tongue began to lick the man's bare
back. Every stroke of that rough
tongue tore the akin and flesh pain
fully. The Indian could only bear it,
for If he tried to escupe be would^
meet death at the horns of the en
raged beast. Before his companions
found him and killed the buffalo, it
had licked the flesh from his back
down to the bone, and the poor mun

LET GOOD RESOLUTIONS FADE
But Fugitive Impulse to Lead Better
Lives Can't Help But Have an
, ' Ennobling Effect.
In' one of his published sermons
Henry Ward Becher pictures n com
pany of some twoscore persons, him
self among the^ number, traveling by
steamer down the Ohio river. Sabbath
morning dawns, and the passengers
ask the clergyman to conduct p. relig
ious service and give them an infor
mal talk. He preaches on Paul’s
words, "In honor preferring one an
other." As the preacher unfolds the
nobility and beauty of the unsel^sh
life, not a few of his listeners are
deeply moved. Here n head Is bowed
in serious thought, there a teardrop
glistens In the eye, and frequently »
hearer nods emphatic agreement with
the preacher's words.
But as the notes of the closing hymn
die, the gong sounds for dinner, and
the congregation rushes away in hot
haste to get the best places at '.abb-
ami the first serving of food. At the
first opportunity to put. into practice
the truth of the morning’s sermon, the
hearers forget the generous emotions
it had excited, and let the selfish, self-
seeking habits of life resume their
sway.
And yet, Mr. 'Beecher adds, these
people were not hypocrites. The emo
tion was genuine. While the impulse
lingered they really meant to live more
for others and less for themselves.
But the impulse was fugitive. They
never seized hold of it and molded It
into a firm purpose.
Wlmt splendid biographies almost
any of us might bequeath to the world
If we eould honestly express them in
the terms of fleetipg aspirations and
impulses .toward good and noble
things! And whnt a melancholy.chap
ter in even the best life is made up
of its defeated ambitions, Its un
wrought deeds of kindness, its manly
resolves that never came to anything,
its heaven-sett visions that faded out
In the light of the common day 1 The
fugitive impulse Is too weak to be
trusted, but it has in it the making <£
that which curbs unruly passions, sub
dues deep-seated liablts, and shapes
the whole life on the broad lines of
Christ’s perfect manhood.—Youth’s
Companion.
IMMENSE STATUE OF BUDDHA
Unearthed in Burma by Chance, It la
Easily the Largest Monument of
Human Form in the East.
The largest monument of the human
form existing in the east today, if not
in the world, is the great reclining
statue of Buddha, near Pegu, in Bur
ma. around which the government has
now erected a building with lattice
steel pillars to protect it from the ele
ments. This Colossus wns brought to
light during the construction of the
railway that runs northeast from Ran
goon to Mandalay, says the Wide
World. While the permanont way
was being banked up to protect the
lines from occasional floods the engi
neer in charge required for the pur
pose of his work u harder ballast than
the alluvial deposit over which the line
was running could give him. Less than
a mile away was a trec-clad mound,
and here, it was thought, suitable ma
terial might he found. Tin* task of
clearing away some of the trees took
about an hour or so, and then shafts
were sunk to find the needed stone.
Before the diggers had gone down
more than a yard they struck an enor-
mouse and fairly preserved figure of
Guutnmu. In actual length the statue
is 380 feet and 50 feet high at the
shoulder. The figure and its pedestal
are of brick, covered with plaster,
Since it* discovery the plustcr has
been renewed and painted over, the
box at the head and the finger nails
gilded and the head decorated with
glass Jewels. The statue 1b thought to
be about 500 year* old, but ao one
kuows it* history, po reference what
ever being made to it in Burmese le
gend* or traditions.
IS THE SUNDAY NEWSPAPER
EMPTYING THE CHURCHES?
The cry comes from city and coun-
j try alike; "People do not attend
church as they used to do." In look
ing around for the reason the Sunday
twspaper is given great prominence
among the many reasons assigned
There can be no doubt that it is a
large factor in keeping people from
church, especially the male portion
of the congregation. v
Let a man seat himself in dressing
j c wn and slippers with a sixteen page
paper before him. and he is very lia
ble to become so absorbed that he
does not notice the flight of time, end
when the church bell rings thinks it
is too late to get ready or he is in
the midst of an interesting article and
:t» do js not want to lay it aside.
Then too, the man who has spent
')>Y morning in reading the newspaper
; not in the mood for church. His
mind is filled with secular thing.'. If
has been reading thes tock reports
or of bargains in real estate, or in
Ids particular business, or of the po
litical situation, his mind is filled
with those things and he wants to sit
quietly and think them out.
But should not his conscience warn
him of the wrong of absenting him
self from the house of God? Just
here comes in one of the greatest of
the evils of the Sunday newspaper,
•i Christian who reads it blunts his
.onscience. He will feel uncomfort
able at first, but if he continv.es to
disregard the warnings of his con-
scene*, it will <*ccse to trouble him and
h will soon be able to convince him
self that when church attendance be
comes a bore to any Christian he has
a right to refuse to be bored. Of
course it is not his fault that he has
lost his interest ir. church servicer.
He used to look forward with pleas-
lit anticipations frpm one Sabbath
to the next and no more thought of
' absenting himself from his U pew in
church than from his scat at the
breakfast table. But they had better
preaching then, the prayers were
more spiritual, they helped him more.
God Seemed nearer and Heaven more
real, the singing was so different, he
njoyed singing those grand old
hymns in those days. Truly the church
all out of joint.
When he has come to the conclu
sion that the fault is all with the
church that he no longer enjoys the
services, he is ready to defend himself
; n staying at home. What better can
he get at church than he finds in the
Sunday Magazine which helps to fill
up that huge paper? Why should he
r.ot stay at home ned read those good
moral and semi-religious articles and
the occasional sermon that some min
isters are wHing to contribute—for
a consideration—because the Sunday
pc per has come to stay and he will
absent himself from the church and
read it and therefore it is the duty of
f ood men to make it as good as possi
ble.
If the church is needed, if it is a
help to the individual, to society, to
the State then it is the duty of all to
help sustain not only by contribu
tions of money but by attending its
services. If all Christian people
would refuse to advertise in, or pur
chase ‘he Sunday taper ii would
*oois cease to he printed, bj\ius» it
would tease to be profitable anil not
withstanding the publishers tell ut
they publish it because the public de
mand it, tf the demand d.a not pay
it would not be published.
O, that wo might hear fr -.m, every
o-.urrh member the declaration: “As
for me and wy house we will have,
no more of the Sunday newvpap w."
